Standard M:9 Properties of shapes and angles.

Introduction:

MK: 9 Uses attributes, composition, or decomposition to sort or classify objects using at least one attribute (e.g., color). Recognizes and names polygons (triangles, squares, rectangles) and circles in
their environment.

Kindergarten

MK: 8 No MK: 8 at this grade level

First Grade

M1: 9 Uses attributes, composition, or decomposition to sort or classify polygons (triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombi, trapezoids, and hexagons) or objects by a combination of two nonmeasurable or
measurable attributes. Recognizes and names polygons and circles in their environment.

Second Grade

M2: 9 Uses properties, attributes, composition, or decomposition to sort or classify polygons or objects by a combination of two or more non-measurable or measurable attributes. M(G&M)–2–1

Third grade

M3: 9 Uses properties or attributes of angles (number of angles) or sides (number of sides or length of sides) or composition or decomposition of shapes to identify, describe, or distinguish among triangles,
squares, rectangles, rhombi, trapezoids, hexagons, or circles. M(G&M)–3–1

Fourth Grade

M4: 9 Uses properties or attributes of angles (number of angles) or sides (number of sides, length of sides, parallelism, or perpendicularity) to identify, describe, or distinguish among triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombi, trapezoids, hexagons, or octagons; or classify angles relative to 90^o as more than, less than, or equal to. M(G&M)–4–1 Recognizes symmetrical figures and uses symmetry to identify and classify figures.

Fifth grade

M5: 9 Uses properties or attributes of angles (right, acute, or obtuse) or sides (number of congruent sides, parallelism, or perpendicularity) to identify, describe, classify, or distinguish among different types of triangles (right, acute, obtuse, equiangular, or equilateral) or quadrilaterals (rectangles, squares, rhombi, trapezoids, or parallelograms). M(G&M)–5–1
